Jackson Verdugo is a promising young tight end entering his freshman season at FIU. Hailing from College Station, Texas, Verdugo brings size, athleticism, and a versatile skill set to the Panthers’ offense.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 235 pounds, Verdugo was a standout at College Station High School, where he earned a reputation as a reliable target in the passing game and a physical presence in the run game. His combination of frame, soft hands, and blocking ability makes him an ideal fit for FIU’s tight end room.

Verdugo now begins his college career with the Panthers, looking to make his mark early as he adjusts to the speed and physicality of the collegiate game. With his work ethic and raw potential, he’s expected to develop into a key contributor in the years ahead.
